The father of Staff Sgt. Darin “Taylor” Hoover, killed in the 2021 Abbey Gate bombing, criticized the Biden administration following the shooting of two National Guardsmen by Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal near the White House. Hoover asserted that the administration’s inadequate vetting of Afghan evacuees led to this incident, claiming many unknown individuals were allowed into the U.S. He expressed frustration over the lack of accountability and recognition for the fallen service members. The FBI is investigating the shooting as a potential act of international terrorism.
